Are you starting to feel it? That tingling in the air? That's right, football season will be here before you know it! I got into football later in my life and I have been a Ravens fan since 2005. There were many hard times and disappointments until I had the incredible pleasure of seeing them win Superbowl 47 when it was Brother vs Brother on the coaching side of things. However things have been far from easy since that moment. Many of the players did not come back and they didn't get to play their opening game at home. The year after the SB win they broke even with an 8 and 8 record. It should be noted that the Ravens have not had a losing season under Coach john Harbaugh. The next year we bounced back to a 10 and 6 record getting back to the playoffs. In the season tie breaker we beat the Steelers in the opening round. Next was a a hard fought game in which we led the patriots by 14 twice, but they fought back and got us. this year I may not recognize my team since many big n...

Danny Miller drove aimlessly down the dark road squinting through each swipe of the wiper blades. About 15 miles back, the rain began in sprinkles and the transformed into a full-out monsoon. This was a recipe for disaster considering he had not slept in close to forty-eight hours. Luckily he had seen little traffic on this highway thus far. And at least he had quit drinking. Eight months ago, Danny was an average American. He worked nine to five in a factory driving a forklift. It was a nonstop routine, but he was a creature of habit anyway. Plus he made decent money. He had been married three years to a young waitress he met at a diner he had lunch at every day. One day he had walked in and she said "Let me guess. a BLT and a side of fries?" "Am I that predictable?" He had replied. "Yes, you're here every day sweetie. Either you really love the food or you're sweet on me." "Can't it be both?" He asked After that, they ...

Earlier this week I talked about the Final Fantasy series of RPG games. Today I'm going to talk about some other great games that I like. First we will start with the Suikoden series. I played all of these, at least once, but the first two I played to death! Normally in RPGs you get five or six different characters to play as. This series was groundbreaking since you got nearly a hundred to choose from? If you haven't played them, you may wonder how that is possible. Without going into detail you at some point in the story become leader of an army and get your own base that grows the more people you recruit. Usually throughout the game you can pick and choose almost anyone (Or in some cases an animal) to fight along side of you in a part of six.Next up we have Super Mario RPG. It has been ages since I played this classic SNES classic, but I loved it. It was a great story filled with some great characters and allowed you to play as the classics Mario, Peach, and even Bowser! (Po...

Hello My Ravens. I promise I'll get to my continuation on RPG games, but this post is the link to a friend of mine named Ieshia's blog. She is an aspiring writer looking to do big things in the business. Www.ieshanicole.wordpress.com

Some of you might not be aware that I have a pug nosed daughter. I bought her with my first tax refund and her name is Stormy. Today she has a message for everyone telling them why they should buy her Daddy's books! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKsTuJxT454

Hello my Ravens. Today I'm going to talk about RPG games. You probably already knew that since it is the title of this post. :) Anyway, the first RPG game I ever played was Final Fantasy 2 (At least in america on SNES that is what it was.) I fell in love. You keep meeting interesting people to put in your party and fight endless enemies and bosses. I rented the game and kept it so long it would have been cheaper to buy it! After that I played Final fantasy 3 and I knew this was an incredible series. Then came the next gen with Final fantasy 7 and I admit I even stayed home from school once JUST to keep playing it. incredible game and most people's favorite in the series. Part 8 was decent, but had in my opinion a confusing storyline and the characters were somewhat bland. Then came part 9. Now, while 7 is the majority favorite THIS is mine. I loved the character and the story in this. One of the reasons people liked 7 so much was that it brought a more modern day feeling with a...

Hello my Ravens. Remember when I told you I was getting all of the bad things about Asperger's syndrome out of the way and the good would come later? Guess what? It's later! Here are the good things! Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX56mbJHUjk

Hello my Ravens. So a lot of you may have noticed that i haven't done a video in a while. Here's an explanation from Buster. http://youtu.be/NFN8PPm2vS4

I don't have anything groundbreaking this time, but this is another one of my videos and this particular one was a pain in the neck to get done! I know I did a post on my favorite horror movies, but this is a list of my favorite movies in general. You may also notice that even though they aren't all "Horror" necessarily, they do fall into the creepy category. Big surprise huh? :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYsEn04Lrr8

Anybody out there a fan of the Fables comics? I just got volume 8 in the mail today. I had never even heard of them until I played the game "The wolf Among us." I thought the game was incredibly cool and I had to force myself to only play one episode a day. After I beat it twice I bought volume 1 of Fables and fell in love. I think they are some of the most brilliant and creative stories I have ever read. How can you not like Bigby Wolf, Snow White and tons of other colorful characters. The odd thing is that  was never into comic books growing up, I had read maybe two in my life. But I am definitely a fan of this series and glad I discovered them.

Here are a few pictures from a photo shoot I recently did. we tried to make them as dark and spooky as possible!

Here is one of my first and most popular videos. It was filmed in a cemetery where I did a promo for Accents Of Horror. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idl-PO_Aq7Q

Hello my Ravens. Today I don't just want to talk about Horror, but MY Horror. I can't tell you how many times people have looked at my book covers and said "Brrr, Horror, I don't think that's for me." People tend to forget that Horror has many categories, but most people think it is only blood and guts just for the heck of it. You have Slasher Films like Friday the 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street and Halloween. You have paranormal Horror films like Insidious, Deliver us from evil and The Rite and sometimes it can be Suspense with a paranormal twist. I believe I said in another post that I am a sucker for happy endings, which is why I wasn't crazy about Sinister. In my Horror, good is usually going to overcome evil. Many may think that my books are only full of gore and terror. Though, some of them may contain this, that isn't the only thing it contains. Yes, there is bloodshed, yes there are horrible creatures and images, yes there is death. However I ...
